'She's always in the know with the chicest brands'

The 1970s may not be known for beauty tips, but the free love decade actually created a pretty iconic look. It’s the era responsible for the glossy hair, glowing skin and big lashes we strive for today. And the inspiration behind Meghan Markle's signature makeup look.

“I think Meghan could identify with the beauty looks from the 70’s, as she loves a classic, sultry, ‘subdued glam’ look,” her makeup artist and ICONIC London ambassador Lydia Sellers told bodyandsoul.com.au.

This simple look doesn’t mean that Meghan isn’t willing to try new things. In fact, Lydia said that the princess-to-be always has a new product on the go. “Meghan is an everything girl,” the make-up artist said,” she is someone who likes to learn a little bit about everything.”

“She is always in the know about the chicest new brands and generally always had something new she loved.”

For the big day, Lydia wouldn’t be surprised if Meghan vamped up her simple signature look with the addition of a new lip or bronze smoky eye to make her eyes pop. “She also has the most beautiful face structure so, adding a pop of highlight to her high cheekbones would definitely enhance that,” she advised.

Although you may not be marrying an actual Prince Charming, Lydia has some tips to achieve a flawless look on your own big day. The key is exfoliation which helps to create “a canvas for your makeup to sit beautifully.”

Although wedding skin prep should start weeks beforehand, Lydia recommend generously apply a face mask the night before in order to “wake up with a glowing, rested complexion come morning – perfect for a bride!”

As for getting that flawless look to last all day, look no further than the beauty blender. “Using a brush to apply directly to the skin first and then going in with a damp beauty blender or buffing brush to blend is key!”

She’s also obsessed with facial misting (most specifically ICONIC London's Prep Set Glow Face Mist) which is an easy way to return hydration to the skin on a wedding day packed with activities. The make-up artist said that facial spray can be “used to prep the skin, before applying make-up, set a finished look or add a radiant gloss throughout the day.”
